Scaling Ethereum has been a priority for Developers within the Ethereum ecosystem. Many projects have come about with an aim to solve the scalability trilemma but Polygon stands out from their robust roadmap and also what they have achieved to build so far. Polygon is an Ethereum scaling platform that offers an avenue for people to build and deploy Dapps on Ethereum and still get to benefit from Ethereum's decentralization and security. Polygon achieves scaling Ethereum by providing a suite of scaling solutions like Polygon Pos, Polygon Edge, Polygon Zero and Polygon Nightfall, and many many more solutions.
These scaling solutions offered by Polygon have made it easier for developers to ship Applications and still maintain decentralization at its core. However, there is an aspect of decentralization that is often left out and that is deploying the front-ends of the Applications. Most people will use centralized systems which have one common flaw which is a single point of failure. 4EVERLAND changes this by allowing developers to deploy their front-ends on the D-web.
Why you should deploy your polygon Dapp on 4EVERLAND
4EVERLAND is a decentralized cloud computing platform that makes it easier to deploy the front-ends of Applications to the decentralized Web. 4EVERLAND comes with two products that are 4EVERLAND hosting and 4EVERLAND Buckets.
4EVERLAND hosting allows developers to deploy their Dapps or websites to the Dweb via an interactive dashboard or CLI. If you are looking to deploy your Dappm with 4EVERLAND, here are some reasons to do so:
- Support for multiple frameworks 4EVERLAND supports various front-end frameworks like Nuxt Js, React, Vue, Angular, Gatsby, and many more. 4EVERLAND hosting also supports custom frameworks by allowing you to key in build commands that would trigger a deployment of your Application.
Support for many frameworks as possible is a one-step to attaining full inter-operability with Web2 frameworks and 4EVERLAND is spearheading this.
- Decentralized servers
All applications deployed via 4EVERLAND are pushed to IPFS. IPFS is one of the largest decentralized networks and you are assured persistent storage of your Application. Once you deploy your Application on 4EVERLAND, you get an IPFS hash which helps authenticate that the App has been deployed on IPFS.
- Decentralized domains
4EVERLAND also supports the use of decentralized domains which is a good feature if you are looking to build a fully decentralized Dapp. Decentralized domains work by converting long addresses to memorable characters. Some domains may not be natively accessible via browsers but this will depend on where you get your decentralized domain from.
Adding a decentralized domain is also very simple and there are no gas fees involved when connecting your Domain to your Application.
- Github integrated 4EVERLAND allows users to sign in via Github and this makes it easy to find your repository and deploy it. This is applicable for users who wish to deploy the Application via 4EVERLAND's dashboard rather than the CLI.
Deploying your Dapp on 4EVERLAND is very simple and does not require any technical background expertise except when using the CLI. Here are some resources to help you deploy the Application successfully:
- Guide on how to use 4EVERLAND hosting This tutorial has a complete walkthrough on how you can de0ploy your Application via CLI or the dashboard.
- 4EVERLAND Documentation Here you will find all the key commands to deploy your application. The docs also include an API reference if you wish to use the API.
